They then granted charterto the A mei lean Tobacco Companyaud thou like a lot ol soho A- boy &hastened to repeal it.JSot having enough oflices lo goaround among the ?? boys" they decided to pass the Meat InspectionLaw, tor the " protection ol thehome market" but which was inreality one ol' the biggest pieces oipolitical jobbery ever lorced uponany people. The result has beento loree up tbe pi ice ol beet, ananow the people have to sutler fromtbe folly ol these legislators.

Butworse than this, as shown by bennoiStubbs yesterday, if the citizens of au\locality are dependent upon o; deringmeat from any particular depot, suchas Richmond, .Not folk, or any oilier cityif tbi y wish to purchase meat aiaugbtered one hundred miles aud over fromthose depots they must really pay twocents a pound for the privilege, siucethey must pay one inspection fee of onecent at the locality where the meat wasHist received, aud another inspectionfee of a cent at the point at whicu theymake the dual purchase.''The Lynchburg Advance, partisanty Democratic does not hesitateto charge up all the shortcomingsto their account. It gives a resumeof their bad legislation when itsays:?Tbe present legislature has certain^adopted some of tbe most impolitic andunfortunate laws ever known in thestate. It is absolutely astounding whatgross blunders an intelligent body otmen have fallen into in a brief space otan unclosed session.One of these obnoxious laws i? thatheavily taxing all joint stock companiescorporations coming into tbe state to dobusiness and develop resources. lsstead of inviting capital and enterprisesto tbe state Un y seem to have been de?termined to tax aud drive it all out.Another most obnoxious law is thatJust passed last week creating what arecalled excise boards in cities and couuties which are to regulate all liquor li?cense hereafter. Tilts bill is no* pendlng before the Governor, and while wehave no time to discuss it, it is to beboped Governor Mt Kinney will promptly veto it.But a still more objectionable law, itpossible, than either of those mentionedis tbe beef inspection law, under whichmeat inspectors are to be appointed inall of^our cities and markets, and a taxof one cent a pound is to be collected onall fresh meats imported more than IOUmiles from the market where offered forsale.The p'irpose of this law professes tcbe to prevent tbe sale of unsound meat*in our markets, and if that were reallyits one effect it might possibly be olsome tolerance. But such ur.questiouably, is not tbe case but rather ihe con*trary. Its injurious and grossly unjust"effect upon the Virginia cattle raisersaud meat buyers is clearly manifest.1*The Richmond State says con?cerning the Meat Inspection Law:"It ls about as unfair a law as waiever inflicted upon a people.*'This is Democratic testimony,Were the legislature made np en?tirely of Afro-Americaus no motecaustic arraignment of it could htcited. Will tbe people of Virginiatolerate itv Will the better elemeut of the Democracy allowthemselves to be misrepresented iutbe legislative halls of this state.We shall see.THE VOICE Ofr Kfci>0>The Petersburg (Va.,) Indt x App ai although ol Democratic per?suasion exercises a liberality orsentiment in dealing with thegro question that is refreshing. lureply to the Pittsburg Pott relativeto the separation of the taxes olthe white and colored, it says:"It will arve to show, perhaps, thutbe Negroes lu Virgluia, in spite ofadverse chcuuistances and conditionsnave beeu able to accumulate, in tbebrief pei tod of tweutj-tive years, auamount of real aud personal propertygreatly to their cred t.

To talk aboutau unequal uistribution of educationalfunds, tue iu? q laiuy being based uponthe relative amount ot taxes paid iu byon*: class of citizens or by another, isunwise, to say tue least. To do such athing vtould be a crime."The above is sound logic. Tbeeditor of that journal has arrayedhimself in tbe ranks of tbe progres?sive Democracy of this country.Were his sentiments the expres?sions of tbe Democrats of this state,no longer would tbe question beasked why the JSegro durr' vnt*the Democratic ticket icn use a division in tbe black beltand briug forth an era of good feel?ing between the races of tho Southnever dreamed of by tbe most prououueed Abolition enthusiast.HOPELESS HOIRHOMS*.The Richmond Dispatch, theMoss back, Democratic, Negro hating organ s out -Herods Herod "iu its malignity towards the Negro.It will be remembered that eightcolored men were incarcerated iuthe Barnwell Co. jail of South Car?olina. Two ol theui were chargedwith the murder of a white mau,two others with being accessoriesand four others were simply retain?ed as witnesses.On the morning of Dec. 28, 1889a band of lawless white meu tookthem out aud riddled their bodieswith bullets, including the innocentaud the guilty. It was presumedthat common humanity would havecaused, regardless of race or colorparty or creed, section or nationality, all to rally in the raising olmeans for the aid of the defencelesswives and helpless children whowere ruthlessly robbed of theilmeans of support. But it is not tobe so. Tbe journal to which wereferred in its issue of the 2d inst,says:The Philadelphia Press second* theappeal of President-stealing CuanDXtt-k for contributions of money foithe eight colored men who weie lynch?ed by a South Carolina mob at Barn?well last December."It says turther:*'A Negro suff ring for food, or fuel, oihouse room is a >rare" thing in theSouth "We disagree, for it was claimedon every side the increased deathrate among ns is due to impropeifood and clothing as well as exposure, brought about by transpaient ceilings and largely porouswalls."We venture to say that there are athousand families, white and black, icPhiladelphia that are in much grea'eineed of charity than ;my of the familiesfo. whom William E Chandler i?asking contributions. There are aimten times as many crimes committeedaily or annually in Phi.adeiphia ?_a nong the same number of personsin any Southern state."That ?? begs the question t Because others are 'suffering is ncreason why the necessities of ther.cpoor victims families should uot bcrespouded to. As to the numb*]ol crimes committed in Philadclph ia, we ,throw out the suggestioEthat there are tar more conviction*aud more arrests than any souther.proportionately of tbwsire. Moreover, the crimes andpunishments are not couflued toone rac? or color. They make nodiscrimination.It is not how many crimes thatare committed that reflects uponthe community, but how many arepunished. From an apologist formurder this journal steps forth asau opponent of humauity.J Kt.-yt; uso n's expression maybe slightly changed when we sayhow we tremble tor some personswhen we remember that God isjust. Hells gates will open widewe thiuk .when tbe editor of tbe? sDispatch draws bis last breath audif ushered into the other world.ANO!

It PresidentHarris-N's reported remarks up?on the murder ol Deputy MarshalSaunders may bo taken as aumdicator, it is beginning to under?stand. He says:* We must make it .primarily distiuctly understoou by them that the presentqueutiou of white or biack supremacyaaa no couiircuon whatever with ihequestion of loyalty to the Ul ion, or?viih tue question of slavery, >ud conoequ. miy we must convince them that..nc .Negio possesses eveiy right whichvhe Co-tstuutiou guarantees aud whichais lacuuies enable bim to enjoy. If,iu the exercise of any right wnat-everne is tn auy way impeded, it ls only sotar aa the welfare -nay aa the existenceof the native necessitates."That's cool, to say the least. Sothe.nullification of the provisionsol' tbe Constitution of tbe UnitedStates has no connection whateverwini tbe tjuestiou of loyalty to theUuiou, aud presistent treating olthe .Negro in some sections just asthough the Idih Admeudment haduot been engr tiled iu tbe Consti?tution had uotbiug to uo with tuequestion ol shivery. The claim isA j absurd that commeut is uuihiiy.So the exigence ol' the nationdepends upon such outrages astuo&fc perpetrated at Hamburg,Copi.tb, Lc flore Co., Miss. Meri?dian, Jessup, Ga.

It de{.teuds upon such acts as thosewhich drove out tbe judge and tbeouuty officials of Arkansas. Itdepends upou the shooting downby a midnight assassin of such aman as Col. Jno. M. Clayton olthe same state as well as the brutalmurder of Deputy Marshal Saun?ders in Florida. It depends up?on such frauds as denied to Hon.John Mercer Laughton hiscertificate ol' election as Congressman irom the 4th CongressionalDistrict of Virginia, .diLLER fromSouth Carolina, Threet from Alabama, Hill from Mississippi and ahost of other liepublicun whitemen who had been couuted out byfrauds so unblushingly that eveuheaven might wonder. He says,? When Lee surrendered at Appomattox the South laid down ber arms andgave ber parole.*'Yes and took them up and commenced shooting down .Negroesbefore the last Yankee's coat-tailhad been lost sight of in the dis?tance. They thought they hadsettled the war hut they left an?other more terrible than that otopen and armed con fl cfc. Fiftythousand Negroes untimely sentinto the unknown world is a sufficient evidence of that fact.He says ?"During tbat period the Negro, whohad .been given, in tbe utmost goodfaith at infinite cost, all th?t advantagesof education which bis faculties haveenabled him to receive."So three months schooling in ayear is all the advantage of educa?tion which the Negro's facultiesallow him to receive.
